Chapter 129: Blood War Pill Capital (II)
The neat Xianbei cavalry formation is slowly pressing towards the Marudu City, the red banner is fluttering wantonly in the raised dust, and the whole formation does not make a sound, the Xianbei people are trying to use this way to play a deterrent role and scare the Goguryeo people in the Marudu City.
Facts have proved that the strategy of the Xianbei people is correct, at this time the nominal ruler of Goguryeo, Gao Zhao, is trembling and huddled in the Goguryeo palace city, and the people in the city of Marudu are frightened by the tragic image outside the city, and most of them feel a sense of panic all day, yes, the sky is still the same sky, but the master of the sky has changed, and the master of the sky is no longer a Goguryeo.
Su Li was looking up in the middle of the big array, looking at the castle tower of Marudu City, just like looking at the woman who was stripped naked in front of him, Su Li's eyes showed a different look. Su Li's sword eyebrows, starry eyes and dark beard looked so elegant and chic at this moment.
Suri's action against Goguryeo this time was as early as several months ago, when the news of the death of the king of Goguryeo reached Duan Bu, Duan Chen settled down, and Duan Chen already knew that the Goguryeo people had been carrying out some unknown and unseemly deeds in the Liaoxi and Liaodong regions. These Goguryeo people were all done under the instruction of King Xichuan, and now, the King of Goguryeo has died, and the successor is not himself, the prince who has paid hard work and bitterness for the country of Goguryeo, but a milky boy, Duan Chen concluded that King Xichuan will definitely fight for the throne.
Sure enough, as Duan Chen expected, it didn't take long for the news to come that King Xichuan requisitioned most of the military strength in Goguryeo, and blatantly crusaded against Gao Zhao, listing Gao Zhao's seven major sins, and when it was inextricably fighting in Goguryeo, Duan Chen decided to intervene in the situation in Goguryeo, and it was best to completely defeat Goguryeo, of course, even if it couldn't be defeated, it was still okay to make some cheap money, so Duan Chen decided to send Suri out, for the sake of insurance, He also transferred the ten newly formed Niu Lu from the Blue Flag to Su Li, hoping that Su Li could achieve enough results.
Su Li with the reorganization of the Red Flag men and horses plus ten Niu Lu of the Blue Banner horses, a total of more than 12,000 horses, are carefully selected elite, when the king of Xichuan and Gao Zhao started a war, they quietly lurked into the territory of Goguryeo, patiently waiting for the opportunity, this is more than half a month, because the king of Xichuan will be all over the county garrison of Goguryeo have been exhausted, so, in the past few days when Suli was lurking, no one found that there was an army of 10,000 people in Goguryeo.
Su Li decided to attack decisively when the King of Xichuan had already occupied a considerable advantage, and defeated the King of Xichuan first, Gao Zhao in the city of Marudu was not afraid at all, and he had enough confidence to take down Gao Zhao, so Su Li chose to attack decisively, sure enough, exactly as Su Li expected, he was defeated by the King of Xichuan in a big defeat, and he also captured the father and son of the King of Xichuan alive.
The battle was fought in a hearty way, and the meaning was very important. From this moment on, the Goguryeo people no longer had the slightest strength to fight back in the face of Duanbe's aggressive posture. Su Li's military power was shocked, Gao Zhao lost the political enemy of the King of Xichuan, and his strength was even weaker, and the only way out now was to bow to Su Li, of course, there were exceptions, provided that Gao Zhao did not want to continue to live.
Su Li looked at the tower of Marudu City and asked Duan Meng, the trusted Blue Flag Deputy Banner Master beside him, "Duan Banner Master, what do you think of the Goguryeo people in this Marudu City?" Duan Meng heard Su Li's question, nodded and said: "Marudu City is high in the north and low in the south, there are steep cliffs on the east, west and north, the city gate is tall, the city wall is deep, in addition to the urn city, there must be an inner city and a palace city, the most important thing is that there are several springs in the city of Marudu, one is in the west of the city, and several are at the foot of the east mountain of the city. The only south gate suitable for siege is a rapid-flowing ditch. It can be described as a natural risk. It's easy to defend and hard to attack! ”
When Su Li heard Duan Meng say this, he couldn't help but nod in agreement, it seems that Duan Meng has indeed done a lot of work for this pill capital! Speaking of this Meng, but the nephew of the former Duan Bu Shan Yu Duan Qizhen, more or less a royal family, after Duan Chen established his dominance, he selected a lot of Duan Bu royal family children who had no real power before from Duan Xianbei and re-incorporated them into the newly formed Blue Flag, this Meng is one of them, he is very respectful to Duan Chen, not only that, but he has been very active in many actions, so Duan Chen made an exception and raised him to the position of deputy flag master.
However, although it is the high position of the deputy flag master, there are only a few dozen soldiers and horses directly under Duan Meng's subordinates, and the elite main force of the blue flag still only obeys Duan Chen's orders. However, Duan Meng is very grateful for Duan Chen's promotion, this sneak attack on Goguryeo, Duan Meng took the initiative to ask for help, and actively asked himself to go with the army to conquer Goguryeo, Duan Meng thought in his heart, first, to cultivate his own lineage forces, on the other hand, after all, Goguryeo is also a big country, and there will definitely be a lot of gold and silver treasures, so there is a chance to make a fortune, how could Duan Meng give up this opportunity?
Su Li asked Duan Meng again, "Since Lord Duan Qi thinks that Pill Capital City is difficult to capture, what should we do next?" ”
Duan Meng laughed and said: "There is no need to storm the capital of the city in this battle, the Goguryeo people have just seen that we have defeated tens of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers and horses outside the city, and the people in the city should have already lost their hearts, I don't think the Goguryeo people still have the courage to defend the city!" ”
Su Li also thought so in his heart, and when he heard Duan Meng say this, he smiled slightly, and said to Duan Meng: "Lord Duan Qi is probably going to be promoted when he goes back this time, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to take care of the last general more in the future!" ”
Duan Meng is in front of an elder of Su Li's level, where does he dare to hold up? hurriedly excused himself, and the two were hypocritically polite. Gao Zhao in Marudu City was feeling uncomfortable at this time.
Gao Zhao sat on the throne in a daze, rubbing the throne with his hand while muttering something in his mouth, and at the end, he asked his henchman who had been standing by his side and was also the prime minister of Goguryeo, Yoshida: "Yoshida, do you think there is any way out for this king now?" ”
Yoshida this person was originally a noble class on the island, because of the failure to compete for power, the family was ruined, so he was exiled to Goguryeo, Yoshida this person traveled to Liaodong and Liaoxi in the early years, for Sanhan, Goguryeo, Buyeo, Wofu have their own unique opinions, so they were cited as a henchman by Gao Zhao in the early years, and later Gao Zhao became the king of Goguryeo, and then promoted Yoshida to be the prime minister, for Gao Zhao, he can have today, all of them are Yoshida behind his back, so he is quite trusting of Yoshida, at this moment, Gao Zhao only believed in Yoshida alone.
Yoshida glanced at Gao Zhao and said in a low voice: "Xianbei people, people are like tigers, and horses are like dragons." Brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death...... It is really a strong soldier in the world, and it is not something we can resist. ”
As soon as Gao Zhao heard Yoshida's words, he suddenly let out a big sigh, and felt a little disheartened, but Gao Zhao didn't blame Yoshida too much, after all, this is the truth, the previous army of the King of Xichuan outside the city of Marudu was tens of thousands of troops, the formation was strict and murderous, Gao Zhao could see clearly from the city tower: such an army must be elite, and his own strength must not be able to win! Therefore, he chose to hold on to the city, hoping that the king of Xichuan would retreat despite the difficulties. What I didn't expect was that such an elite army of Goguryeo, in Gao Zhao's view, was completely defeated and defeated by the Xianbei cavalry in a battle, which is not simply explained by a surprise attack. The combat effectiveness of the Xianbei cavalry is really amazing.
Gao Zhao muttered to himself: "I can't imagine that a big battle between us and the King of Xichuan that decided life and death, and the final outcome turned out to be like this? Xianbei people can easily decide our victory or defeat. We were like playing a child's war game. ”
Yoshida looked at the decadent Gao Zhao who was sitting on the throne, his face was dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking......
